Chinese Court Rules that Stores Must Cease Selling Ipads Due to Trademark Dispute
Posted by wtdevflnt on February 21, 2012
A Chinese court has ruled that Apple does not own the trademark ‘Ipad’ and that all sales of the device should cease and desist in China. WTF??
Ok let me get this straight. In China, I can
1-illegally download music and videos for free
2-buy everything from crack to heroin in the Sanlitun bar area
3-steal land and kill its owners as long as the commies agree and back me such that they take a cut of the action
4-kill a child in the third trimester
5-chain mentally handicapped to brick kilns and buy and sell them like slaves
6-purchase children from communist officials
7-purchase women from communist officials
8-but sex in myriad of KTV and massage parlors for prices as low as $20, all with implicit governmental support
9-beat a Tibetan to death and call it suppressing an ethnic uprising
10-buy an organ from a member of a religious group that the reds do not support and know that right before he’s executed it will be harvested and delivered to me
But I cannot buy an IPAD because of some trademark dispute? Where else but the insanityville called China would this happen?
The reasons for the problem are equal parts corruption and ignorance. Take a look at this excerpt of the reality of the court system in China.
Quote:
“..(In 2003 only) 40 percent of Chinese judges had earned a 4-year University degree.. a 21 percent increase since 1998″ (161)
It’s true. As of 2003, only 40% of Chinese judges had earned a proper four-year degree, not to mention seven years of college as ours do?”
